We’re truly honored when families entrust us with their pets, especially during emergencies.

"I would highly recommend Port City for emergency care of their pet. I took my dog in after he was vomiting and lethargic. They diagnosed a foreign body in his small intestine. I was nervous for him to have surgery because he is almost 13. The admitting doctor and the surgeon both communicated with me in detail, explained exactly what was going on, answered all my questions, and provided excellent care overall. I felt like my dog was in excellent hands, and he is doing extremely well now! - Brianna S."

Knowing we could help your furry family member feel better and recover safely is why we do what we do every day.

Spring is in the air—and so are seasonal allergies! 🌸🐾

As flowers bloom and pets spend more time outside, sneezing, itchy skin, watery eyes, and paw licking can start to show up. Just like us, pets can have seasonal allergies too—and sometimes they can lead to more serious reactions.

If your furry friend is showing signs of discomfort, don’t wait—call or visit Port City Veterinary Hospital. Our team can help identify the cause and get your pet back to feeling happy and healthy. 🐶🐱💛

Feline lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in cats, affecting the lymphatic system, which plays a key role in their immune health. 🐱💛

Cats with lymphoma may show subtle signs at first, like weight loss, decreased appetite, vomiting, or low energy, and sometimes symptoms can be mistaken for other illnesses. Early detection and proper veterinary care are crucial to give your cat the best possible outcome.

At Port City Veterinary Hospital, we’re here to help you understand the causes, risk factors, and treatment options for feline lymphoma—so you can make informed decisions and act quickly if needed.

We’re so touched by kind words like these!

"I have never had a bad experience with Port City Veterinary Hospital! Their love and compassion for animals is truly appreciated. They have been wonderful and patient with my feral cats and my working dogs, who don’t always like being handled by strangers. Wish the human healthcare system was 1/2 as compassionate!! - Terry B."

It means so much to our team to provide care with patience, understanding, and heart—for every pet, no matter their personality. 🐶🐱💞
